There are few things more peaceful than escaping from the hustle and bustle of the city to enjoy some time with nature. After a stressful few weeks, Johnny and I decided to head just north of Atlanta to get away for a couple days. Although we are both huge environmentalists and love nature, camping is not something we are generally drawn to. But when we discovered a site that offered teepees with real beds inside, we took advantage. (A few weeks ago, I posted about glamping–I’m so excited I finally got the chance to do it!)
We headed to a little town called Lula for our weekend getaway. When we got there, we decided to have a picnic for dinner at sunset. With yummy eats from The Little Tart Bakeshop in Atlanta and a couple glasses of wine, we were set.
Next, we got settled into our teepee. It was easy to make the outdoor abode feel cozy with some candles and blankets. I brought some additional items, like my Crafts & Love jewelry collection to make it really feel like home (and to wear, of course!).
Our night plan was to watch a meteor shower and make s’mores, but unfortunately, rain prevented us from doing so. On the upside, the storm outside made us feel that much cozier in our little teepee. The next morning we made some hot chocolate and chatted by the campfire before heading back home.
The short, overnight break from reality is just what we needed. On to the next adventure…
Have you ever been camping or glamping? How was your experience?

Megan,
I seriously love everything about this post! I’m so glad that you and Johnny found time to get away from the hustle and bustle of Atlanta. Breaks are always good for the soul! I can’t wait to see where your next adventure leads you 🙂

I love this! I think I’ll add camp out in a teepee to my bucket list….after all I live in Oklahoma….where according to my uncle we all live in teepees….LOL!

Haha! It was a fun experience and there really are so many places around the US that offer teepee camping!

This sounds like an absolute blast! I would love to do something like this with my boyfriend (who I call Jonny too, except with no H). He is a country boy and loves camping, and I’m a city girl who likes the idea of camping. It’s a nice compromise. It looks like the two of you had a super cozy weekend!

You’d love it!! We’re the same way. Johnny loooves nature (I do too, but not bugs…) and I’m more of a city girl. We had a really great weekend and both appreciate the experience 🙂 I ended up making a scrapbook of these photos and gave it to him for his birthday. It was perfect!!
